For the past week we have been enjoying the quiet of the lake and the nature it attracts. Every morning as we walk the shoreline I've had the chance to watch this little Vermillion Flycatcher and his mate swoop down and catch bugs, getting close with no concern for us. Until, I brought my camera then they were playing hard to get.
About these little birds:
A spectacular and distinctive flycatcher, the bright red Vermilion Flycatcher inhabits riparian areas and scrub in the southwestern United States and southward. It perches conspicuously, making periodic flights to nab insect prey. Well said Wikipedia!
Our only other excitement was the burrow incident. Our mother burrow and her yearling were doing their evening stroll through the campground when a camper and his golden stopped for the yearling to sniff noses. The dog gave a bark, the yearling jumped and momma gave the warning. And can she do a call! I had no idea how loud they can be.
